Day 11 Shibaozhai

















In 1819, this nine-story pavilion was built next to the cliff to help peopleget to the top of the hill. Before this, visitors were hoisted to the top using a system of chains. In 1956, three more stories were added at the top of the structure. Last photo: One of these things is not like the other.
